Question |
Answer |
Formula for work |
W=FxD |
Formula for power |
P=W?T |
Wave speed formula |
Wave speed = Wave length ? Wave period |
Tommy lifted a box, he applied 30N and carried it for 2M, how much work was applied? |
30Nx2M=60J |
Force |
A push or pull exerted on an object (newtons) |
Work |
The use of force to move an object some distance (Joules) |
Wave |
Vibrations of particles |
Medium |
The material (solid, liquid, or gas) that waves travel through |
Crest |
The highest point on a wave |
Trough |
The lowest point on a wave |
Longitudinal wave |
Particles move parallel to the direction that the wave moves |
Compression |
When part of a wave becomes more compact |
Rarefaction |
When part of a wave spreads out |
Transverse wave |
Particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave |
Mechanical wave |
Waves that require a medium |
Electromagnetic waves
|
Waves are not disturbances in a physical medium |
Amplitude |
Measure of how far particles in the medium move from the rest position |
Wavelength |
The distance from any point on a wave until the next identical point |
Frequency |
The number of waves that pass a point in a given amount of time |
Hertz (Hz) |
The measure of frequency |
Wave speed |
How well a wave length moves through a medium |
Wave length formula |
Wave length = wave speed ? frequency |
Lucy lifted an apple with 20J and held it for 2sec, how much power was used? |
20J?2sec=10watt |
Bert wanted to know his work ability after using 80N and walking 4M |
80Nx4M=320J |
If Sophie moved 10M and had a work of 80J, what was her force? |
80J?10M=8N |
Bill had a work of 60J and 30N what was his distance? |
60J?30N=2M |
Clary has a force of 80N and traveled 5M, what is her work? |
80Nx5M=400J |
If a wave is 8in and the wave period is 4 waves per second what is the wave speed? |
8IN?4WPS=2 wave speed |
A body builder has a force of 150N and has a work of 300J what was his distance? |
300J?150N=2M |
Jace walked for 1H and had a work of 35J what was his power? |
35J?1H=35watt |
